“Entourage” star Adrian Grenier’s mania for sustainability has earned him a reputation as one of our most eco-centric actors, so it’s no surprise he’s being honored with the Vail Film Festival’s 2008 Blue Sky Award for Environmental Activism, as Ecorazzi reports:

Grenier’s commitment to environmental issues has long been a focus outside of the actor’s successful television, movie, and documentary projects. He has a home in Brooklyn that utilizes insulation made from recycled jeans, energy produced by solar panels, and other sustainable elements. Most recently, he signed on with Discovery Channel’s Planet Green to create a series “that will illustrate how making small changes in everyday living can be cool and simple.” Tentatively titled The Green Life, the show is expected to debut early summer “Ëœ08. 

The show will be produced by a new company Grenier “Ëœs formed with partner Peter Glatzer, named “Reconcile.”  The name conveys Grenier and Glatzer’s goal to inspire us all to make amends with Mother Nature before she totally disowns us. Ecorazzi quizzed Grenier and Glatzer on how they intend to use their show to spread the sustainable gospel:

When we asked Adrian and Peter to offer an example of a way to illustrate their vision of a more eco-friendly way of life, they described an intimate evening dinner with friends at home, where all of the guests would participate in preparing the meal, purchasing the food locally, and having quality conversations as opposed to dining out in a loud trendy hot spot. Less travel, less waste, and more substance is their goal here.     

Adrian stated, “if everyone just became a little more aware of his or her own personal impact on the earth, real change would ultimately result.”
